January 2025, a temperature inversion led to a few foggy days in central Thuringia. Paired with freezing temperatures, the fog created a white crust around everything within its reach.
Pictures 1-3, 5 are taken with a Canon EOS70D + Sigma 17-50 2.8
Picture 4 is taken with an iPhone 12 mini, ultra wide lens
It was time again, the autumn colour [paradise] had been painted. Like every year, just georgeous.
I did an upgrade of my gear in September last year. This was the first time I went out with my Sigma 17-50 2.8 lens. I always wanted a wide-aperture lens on short focal length and so far, I am happy with it.
This ain’t Norway, this is Høhenwarte.
(Of course it is river Saale and lake Hohenwarte. The norwegian style branding is part of a tourism campaign.)
As all the years before, autumn paints this hillside red. And again, it’s just gorgeous.

Taken on a short hike around Ziegenrück. Lake Hohenwarte with former “Conrod” powerplant, which became useless after the damn has been built. (finally it is being renovated)
An awesome “playground” when I was a kid. Now it is owned and access isn’t allowed. (not sure if it was when I was a kid, but in the reunification aftermath, nobody cared)
Always worth a visit. Still an awesome place.
Another taken on a rainy day. Foggy Saale river in Ziegenrück
Upper Saale river with a moody layer of fog on a grey and rainy day.
Tried a nice kayaking spot. Sadly nothing I would do with the faltboat because of low water level these days.
